Dublin ready to tackle Rebels

DUBLIN forward Kevin McManamon admits his team have almost become preoccupied with the art of tackling since last year’s All-Ireland semi-final defeat to Cork.

Along with Derek Kavanagh’s score, two late Donnacha O’Connor frees were pivotal in denying the Blues a first All-Ireland final appearance in 15 years and Saturday’s ‘rematch’ in Croke Park will bring it all back home.

But, having seen Daniel Goulding punish Kerry with a late winning free in Tralee last Sunday week, McManamon knows Cork are going to be just as clinical when it counts at the weekend.
